Hate
Glitch wakes up wrapped it several warm wool blankets. He twists to the side, irritated and very confused. He hates wool blankets. A lot. They itch and make him feel too warm and uncomfortable. He notices faintly that he's nude. The blankets are tight around his slender body. They itch! He rolls onto his side and looks around the dark room.
“Whoa there Sweetheart.” Warm hands touch his shoulders and cheeks. “You awake?”
“Wool” Glitch murmurs. He buries his head in his pillow. It feels a little damp. “Hate wool”
Cain runs his fingers across his cheek. “I know you do but they are the warmest blankets we have.”
“So?” Glitch asks, not understanding.
“I guess you don't remember then.” Cain leans over and kisses Glitch's forehead. “You went and fell into the lake. It's freezing in that thing. You blacked out and we had to rush you up here. I was laying with you until a few minutes ago. Luckily we were able to warm you up.” Cain rests his hand on Glitch's forehead. “You had me worried there for a bit.”
Glitch rolls close to Cain and wraps his tired arms around him “You saved me?”
“Just like you saved me.”
Depression
It's really easy for Cain to fall into a funk. It's fairly easy for Glitch as well but he often forgets when he's upset so it's easier to cheer him up. For the most part Cain is content with his life. He has laid his past to rest and doesn't let it eat at him. But when he does fall into a depression it's nearly impossible to pull him out of it.
Glitch never knows what to do for him when he gets like that. Some mornings he wakes up and just can't be cheered up. He's snappy and rarely speaks. He moves through his day slowly like he's just waiting for it to be over. He doesn't want to be to close to Glitch or anyone on those days. Despite that Glitch always stays close by on those days. He doesn't try to talk to him or cheer him up. He just doesn't leave him.
Anger
“Do you ever get mad at me?” Glitch asks innocently, head tilted to the side. “When I forget things I mean. Do you ever get mad that I can't remember things or function normally?”
Cain looks up at Glitch and smiles. “You seem to function perfectly well to me.” Cain jokes lightly.
Glitch blushes and looks down. “I'm being serious.” He says.
“So am I sweetheart.” Cain says tenderly. “It's who you are. You're Glitch so naturally sometimes you glitch. It's part of why I love you.” Cain leans forward and gives Glitch a soft kiss. “So I don't get mad when you forget what you are thinking about.”
“Aww,” Glitch darts forward and gives Cain a firm kiss. “You big softy.”
Joy
Glitch runs from the Castle doors across the lawn toward the gate. He goes as fast as he can. Cain is heading from the gates toward the castle when he gets jumped on by Glitch. The headcase wraps his arms around Cain's shoulders and hangs off him. “You're home!” He says happily as he buries his face in Cain's neck. “I missed you.” He adds.
Cain drops his bags and wraps his arms around Glitch's slender body. “I missed you too.” He says softly. They stand in the middle of the path holding each other for a long time. “I'm happy to be home.” Cain says after a while.
Glitch looks at him and grins. “I'm happy you're home.”
Excitement
“Cain! Cain! Cain!” Glitch shouts as he grabs Wyatt's shoulders and shakes them vigorously. “Cain! Caiiiiin! Wake up.”
Cain rolls over and puts one arm over his eyes. “What is it Sweetheart? It's too early.”
“It's Christmas!” Glitch says loudly. “You have to wake up early. Come on! DG has been up for an hour”
Cain sits up and shakes his head. “The sun hasn't even come out yet. Why exactly do we have to be awake?” Cain says reasonably.
Glitch shrugs. “I don't know but DG says we have to be. Come on! Get up! Don't you want to see what this holiday is all about?”
“I would love to see what this holiday is about. In about three hours.” Cain lays back down and rolls over. “Come on Sweetheart. Lets sleep a little more. Then we can get up and share this glorious holiday with DG.”
Glitch shakes his head. “Can't. Too excited to sleep!” He grabs Cain's shoulder again. “Come on. Pleeeeeeeease? Get up.”
Cain sighs and rolls onto his back again. “You really want me to get up?” Glitch nods ecclesiastically. “There's no way you are going to let me go back to sleep is there?” Glitch shakes his head. “Alright fine. But you owe me.”
